Use single cell multiomics and genetic mouse models as a Research Associate studying neural stem cells and microglia at UBC in Vancouver. Explore cellular responses involved in brain repair.

UBC’s Michael Smith Laboratories seeks a full time term Research Associate under Dr. Freda Miller. The position focuses on neural stem cell biology, neuroscience, and mammalian brain repair. You will apply spatial transcriptomics and molecular cellular biology to murine models, working collaboratively with researchers in the Miller laboratory. The appointment begins January 2, 2027, for one year, with possible extension subject to satisfactory performance and funding.

Key Responsibilities:

- Use mouse models to investigate mammalian brain repair
- Conduct single cell multiomic analyses of repair models




- Apply spatial transcriptomics to cellular response studies
- Define molecular mechanisms supporting limited brain repair
- Collaborate with researchers in the Miller laboratory

Requirements:

- PhD in biology, molecular biology, or related biomedical sciences
- Neuroscience and molecular cellular biology experience
- Postdoctoral experience with spatial transcriptomics
- Postdoctoral experience using genetic mouse models
- Ability to work effectively on a team

Apply single cell analysis, neuroscience, and genetic mouse model expertise to UBC research on neural repair mechanisms.
